This study originated from the urge to observe, analyze and discuss the educational experiences at the inclusive school in Brazil, more specifically the beliefs of the participants about the English language learning and teaching processes to the deaf learners. After preliminary observations in this context, I decided to focus on the perceptions of a former deaf High School student whose participation in the English class interaction was considered above average by her two former teachers and theses teachers beliefs about the processes of learning and teaching the English Language to deaf students. Thus, a retrospective of the classes in which the student participant in this research was made by the two teachers in order to describe her performance. A second step was to meet the participant, who, at the moment, is doing the Pedagogy course at a university in Goiás. During these meetings, video recorded interviews mediated by a sign language interpreter were made. Moreover, the three participants, i.e. the two teachers and the deaf student also answered a questionnaire. Based on these data, a survey on the beliefs of one of the teachers and the deaf student, participants in this study, was made. In relation to the theoretical references followed by this study, reviews were made about the following three major themes: inclusive education from a socioanthropogical perspective; Vygotsky s social intreactionist theory and its relation to learning; as well as the theory on learners and teachers beliefs based on authors such as Barcelos (1999, 2004), Almeida-Filho (1993), Richards and Lockart, (1994). The qualitative research was the methodology adopted to collect and analyze the data. Instruments like interviews, questionnaires and field notes were used in order to triangulate the data and interpret the results. Finally, the data analyses reveal that teaching English to deaf students demands the adoption of new perspectives and attitudes towards the process by practitioners.
